    Border Patrol pursuit ends in crash; 9 hurt, 1 critically- By Lyndsay Winkley Contact Reporter  February 28, 2017

    Nine people were injured, one critically, when an SUV driven by a suspected human smuggler crashed Sunday while being chased by Border Patrol agents near Lake Morena in East County.

    The agents tried to pull over the Chevrolet Trailblazer, which was headed east on state Route 94 in the Campo area, about 11:40 a.m., said Mark Endicott, a supervisory Border Patrol agent for the San Diego sector

    The driver sped off and crashed into a boulder about 15 minutes later off Lake Morena Drive near the entrance to Lake Morena County Park. The SUV was the only vehicle involved in the crash.

    All nine people inside were hurt. Two people suffered minor injuries, six were moderately injured and one person was in critical condition, Cal Fire Capt. Issac Sanchez said. He didn’t know whether it was the driver or a passenger who was seriously hurt.
